Why Poke Cakes Are So Delish!
I somewhat feel like a barbarian when I get around poke cakes. I get all territorial and basically shovel it into my mouth, looking pretty much like I said…A barbarian.
A Poke Cake Barbarian at that! Ugh…Well, it does sound a little better that I don’t use my hands to shovel it in with! I do have that going for me, at least.
Poke cakes are so much fun! They are a fool-proof way to make an ultra-moist cake by poking holes in it so that you can put pudding or a sauce/sweetened condensed milk into the cake to make it super flavorful and lush.
Well, I did something a little different this time. I made smaller poke holes (using a wooden skewer like you use for grilling kabobs, flat side poking into the cake, not the pointed side) instead of using the bottom of a wooden spoon, which makes larger holes. It saturated the cake even more evenly by doing this. YUM!
Those heavenly caramel swirls on top are glorious! You can go as heavy or as light as you want when you pour that golden, caramel on top and make your swirly-doos! This caramel soaked chocolate cake is so lush and delicious, no one will resist the temptation!
